SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
notified the Commission that the six
above-identified exclusion orders may
be candidates for rescission based on
changed conditions of fact or law. Each
of the above-identified exclusion orders
issued over twenty (20) years ago and
each resulted from a Commission
investigation alleging a violation of
section 337 based on at least trademark
or trade dress infringement. CBP’s
preliminary investigation indicated that
the trademarks or trade dress at issue in
the exclusion orders were no longer
used in commerce or that complainant
had stopped making required
compliance filings. See EDIS Document
Nos. 542137–42.
On October 22, 2014, the Commission
issued a notice requesting submissions
from the public, including the owners of
the intellectual property (e.g.,
trademarks or trade dress) at issue, on
whether these exclusion orders should
be rescinded based on changed
conditions of fact or law, or the public
interest, pursuant to 19 CFR § 210.76. 79
FR 64214 (Oct. 28, 2014). The
Commission received submissions from
the owners of the intellectual property
at issue in the 087, 105, and 112
investigations showing continued use of
the subject intellectual property. The
Commission did not receive any
submission from the owner of the
intellectual property at issue in the 287
investigation. The owner of the
intellectual property at issue in the 295
investigation stated that the subject
intellectual property of the exclusion
order was no longer used in commerce.
The owner of the intellectual property at
issue in the 055 investigation stated that
it no longer wants the remedy of the
exclusion order. The Commission
received no other submissions.
Based on the foregoing, the
Commission has determined that the
lack of a showing of continued use of
the intellectual property at issue in the
287 and 295 investigations, and the lack
of an interest in continuing the remedy
in the 055 investigation constitute
‘‘changed conditions of fact or law, or
the public interest’’ sufficient to justify
rescission of the exclusion orders issued
in those investigations pursuant to 19
CFR § 210.76(a)(1). The Commission has
therefore rescinded those exclusion
orders.

Also pursuant to Commission rule

modified the exclusion orders issued in
Certain Coin-Operated Audio Visual
Games and Components Thereof, Inv.
No. 337–TA–087; Certain CoinOperated Audio Visual Games and
Components Thereof (Viz., Rally-X and
PAC MAN), Inv. No. 337–TA–105; and
Certain Cube Puzzles, Inv. No. 337–TA–
112 to require that complainant report
to the Commission, on a semi-annual
basis, whether complainant is
continuing to use the subject
intellectual property in commerce.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and in Part
210 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR part

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'')
notified the Commission that the six above-identified exclusion orders
may be candidates for rescission based on changed conditions of fact or
law. Each of the above-identified exclusion orders issued over twenty
(20) years ago and each resulted from a Commission investigation
alleging a violation of section 337 based on at least trademark or
trade dress infringement. CBP's preliminary investigation indicated
that the trademarks or trade dress at issue in the exclusion orders
were no longer used in commerce or that complainant had stopped making
required compliance filings. See EDIS Document Nos. 542137-42.
On October 22, 2014, the Commission issued a notice requesting
submissions from the public, including the owners of the intellectual
property (e.g., trademarks or trade dress) at issue, on whether these
exclusion orders should be rescinded based on changed conditions of
fact or law, or the public interest, pursuant to 19 CFR Sec. 210.76.
79 FR 64214 (Oct. 28, 2014). The Commission received submissions from
the owners of the intellectual property at issue in the 087, 105, and
112 investigations showing continued use of the subject intellectual
property. The Commission did not receive any submission from the owner
of the intellectual property at issue in the 287 investigation. The
owner of the intellectual property at issue in the 295 investigation
stated that the subject intellectual property of the exclusion order
was no longer used in commerce. The owner of the intellectual property
at issue in the 055 investigation stated that it no longer wants the
remedy of the exclusion order. The Commission received no other
submissions.
Based on the foregoing, the Commission has determined that the lack
of a showing of continued use of the intellectual property at issue in
the 287 and 295 investigations, and the lack of an interest in
continuing the remedy in the 055 investigation constitute ``changed
conditions of fact or law, or the public interest'' sufficient to
justify rescission of the exclusion orders issued in those
investigations pursuant to 19 CFR Sec. 210.76(a)(1). The Commission
has therefore rescinded those exclusion orders.
Also pursuant to Commission rule 210.76(a)(1), the Commission has
modified the exclusion orders issued in Certain Coin-Operated Audio
Visual Games and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-087; Certain Coin-
Operated Audio Visual Games and Components Thereof (Viz., Rally-X and
PAC MAN), Inv. No. 337-TA-105; and Certain Cube Puzzles, Inv. No. 337-
TA-112 to require that complainant report to the Commission, on a semi-
annual basis, whether complainant is continuing to use the subject
intellectual property in commerce.
The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and
in Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR
part 210.
By order of the Commission.
